She first studied in Boston, and later went on to study briefly at the Art Students League in New York City. The daughter of Alpheus Hyatt, a Harvard professor and curator of the Boston Society of Natural History, Huntington’s preference for sculpting animals is evident throughout her long career, as well as in the Telfair’s Two Swans. By the 1920s, Huntington had achieved international fame as an artist who combined naturalism and sympathetic expression in her sculptures. In 1936, the artist and her husband, poet Archer M. Huntington, founded Brookgreen Gardens, a 6,500-acre outdoor sculpture museum near Charleston, South Carolina.
